chapter 11
Thoughts in bold and/or italics.
Christians POV:
Surprisingly I woke up ten minutes before the alarm, which doesn't usually happen.
Looking down, I got startled to see a hand wrapped around my waist but calmed down when I realised it was Anika. I couldn't help but just stare at her. She looks so untroubled and carefree when she's sleeping. It just proves how strong she is.
Yesterday's events came to my memory, and it ruined my mood. Why would someone want to hurt her?! She's so beautiful, inside and out, and don't get me started on how smart she is! Getting lost in my thoughts I didn't realise it was time to get up, but it was too late as the alarm went off, "shit shut up," I whisper yelled not wanting to wake her up.
Anika's POV:
I woke up to the sound of the alarm. "Okay Google turn the alarm off," I said, half awake.
"Anika honey get up it's time for school," I heard a male voice say
Shit, I forgot I'm in Christian's house!! Urghhh how embarrassing. Maybe if I act to fall back to sleep, he'll leave me alone?
"I know your awake Anika, and I just heard you ha-ha," he said, finding it hilarious.
"Five more minutes, please?" I asked feeling too comfortable to get out of bed.
"Fine, but once I finish with the shower you better be awake," he said, trying to be stern, but I could see his smile sneaking upon his face.
As he walked into the bathroom, I couldn't help but stare at him. "You know it's offensive to stare?" He said.
"I wasn't, I was just staring at the wall behind you," I said, trying to sound convincing.
"Your such a bad liar Anika," he said, walking away.
Thank God he's gone now I can attempt to get dressed.
I quickly bent over to reach my bag from under the bed, as I got back up with the bag I nearly fell straight off the bed.
God, I'm so clumsy haha.Looking through my bag, I realised I didn't have a bra on as it's in the bag.
"Fuck how embarrassing can I get urghh," I said to myself.I quickly grabbed my clothes from the bag and got dressed. Just as I put my jumper on Christian walked in.
Anika's outfit ⬇
"Wow, you look beautiful Anika," he said, making me blush."Thanks, Christian, you don't look too bad yourself," I said without thinking.
Shit, really Anika?!
"Awww thanks, Ani! Now come on you need to brush your teeth I can smell your breath from a mile away!" He said.
He walked over to me and helped me get up. "Do you want me to carry you? Or help you walk?" He said, giving me a choice.
"Can you help me walk please?" I said, swinging my legs over the bed and shuffling forward.
"Yeah sure, I'm just going to support you from the back in case you topple over." He came beside me and took my hands. I'm not going to lie; it was so hard to ignore the tingles shooting through my body when we touched.
"You better not drop me, Christian, if you do I'll drop you," I said being deadly serious.
With a lot of effort and some encouraging comments from Christian, I managed to stand up. He quickly grabbed my hips and stepped slowly behind me so that I wouldn't fall. As I took a step forward, my knees gave away, and I nearly fell, but Christian caught me.
"Is it ok if I carry you now?" He whispered into my ears. I was so shocked by him whispering; all I could do was nod.
In one quick motion, he carried me bridal style to the bathroom. As we got into the bathroom, he gently placed me on top of his counter. If I weren't too flustered from him whispering in my ear five minutes ago, I would be blushing so hard right now. He placed his right hand on my thigh to stop me from falling, I couldn't help but feel comforted with him, and it's so hard to ignore the tingles! With his free hand, he grabbed a toothbrush and applied the toothpaste to it.
"Open wide here comes the choo-choo train," he said, finding it funny. I whacked him as hard as I could.
"Ow! Anika stop hitting me it hurts," he said, clearly lying because I could see the smirk on his face.
"I can brush my teeth on my own, you know?" I said, slightly annoyed."Be quiet, just do what I'm telling you to do," he said being slightly dominant
Okay, not going to lie I kind of like him telling me what to do... Really Anika!? Now is not the time to get turned on!!!
"Fineeeee, urghhh, I agreed huffing like a kid who got told what to do. I opened my mouth (not in a sexual way😉🤦🏽♀️.)
Good girl, you might get a sticker for being good, he said sarcastically.
I mean, who doesn't love stickers?
After I finished complaining, he quickly brushed my teeth. He grabbed the mouth wash, and I gargled it into the sink.
"Come on we've got half an hour until we need to be at school," he said, lifting me back up again.
Fuck I'm so fat how the hell is he lifting me?!
"Stop overthinking honey, if you want I can teach you how to go down the stairs on your own one day. You don't have to answer right now just think about it," he said.
He sat me down on the sofa and went into the kitchen. "What would you like for breakfast Anika," he asked
"Thanks, Christian, but I'm not hungry," I said just as my stomach made a noise.
Urghh really!? How embarrassing. God he's going to make sure I eat now. Great!!
"Really? Then why is your stomach rumbling?" He asked sarcastically
but still being serious."Urghh fine but I'm only gonna eat something small, maybe a banana or an apple?" I asked, not wanting to eat anything that's going to make me gain weight.
"How about some cereal or coco pops?" He asked.
"You got to have a bowl of coco pops," really Anika now is not the time to sing a jingle from an advert!
"Yeah sure thanks, Christian," I said.
A/N: Sorry I haven't been updating, I've been having a relapse with my depression lately, and I needed a break. Sorry.
